question of the day: What movie event of 2012 will have the biggest impact in years to come?

It wasn’t just a pretty good year for movies, 2012: it was also a year of some pretty major shifts in the Hollywood paradigm. A few of them (some borrowed from Movies.com):
• the rise of Seth MacFarlane as a movie player, with the phenomenal success of Ted (which has also proven that comedy can translate to non-English-speaking audiences)

• art filmmakers such as Ang Lee embracing 3D, with Life of Pi, also doing extremely well globally
